Reviews
"Thoughtful and even humorous, this is a promising choice for use in a university class but should also prove a helpful resource for experts." ( Religious Studies Review , 1 December 2012) "Minor quibbles aside, Confucius and Confucianism: The Essentials is an excellent, well-written, and accessible introduction to the Confucian tradition, eminently suitable for both an undergraduate class and a general readership." ( Journal of Chinese Religions , 2012) "Anyone who comes out of a course based on this book will have not simply an informed sense of Confucius and his legacy but also a critical sense of where that legacy is open to dispute or re-evaluation." -- T. H. Barrett, University of London "This is an excellent survey of the history of Confucianism, incorporating philosophical issues and development and the received histories of key figures in the tradition." -- Jennifer L Oldstone-Moore, Wittenberg University
